again, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... the idea that it could be beneficial to the staff was a big part of why the bakery allowed a choreographer into the mix. there is actually method to this, that it could improve performance? that's what the choreographer said to us, that in terms of being more conscious of your movements and maybe changing the way you do it so it's a little bit better for your body. you've actually opted to take part yourself. any reservations? a lot, but i felt i couldn't really ask them to do something i wasn't willing to do myself, so i was, like, 0k. with four performances this weekend at the festival of making, it's hoped the bakers will rise to the occasion. our weather forecasts. let's head across the balcony. do you think there are some moves that could be choreographed? remember carol was on its strictly.

maybe not today. i might opt out of that. the weather is not that exciting. if you're stuck underneath this area of cloud you probably wish it would dance. many areas grey and rizzoli. that is not moving anywhere fast. away from those areas, chances of sunshine. some sunny spells for northern ireland. it will turn murky and drizzly. we will lose the rain from the south. tomorrow, we will still have cloud around in the north and east. the

odd spot of drizzle. the best of the sunshine in the south—west. that is where we will have the best of the temperatures were some areas up to 18, and 19. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines... labour leaderjeremy corbyn is urging party activists to dust themselves down and take the fight to the tories, after suffering heavy losses in the local elections. theresa may has sought to play down talk of a landslide general election victory. the liberal democrats say they would put a penny in the pound on income tax to generate billions more for the nhs and social care were they to get into power. the ukip leader, paul nuttall, has urged his supporters to "stay on the pitch", despite a drubbing in local elections. he inisists the party has a bright future,

and voters will return in their "droves" if theresa may fails to deliver on brexit. french presidential candidate, emmanuel macron, says he's the target of a huge hacking attack, the day before the people of france go to the polls. the teenage racing driver, billy monger, who lost both his legs in an horrific formula 4 crash has said he's lost for words after receiving support from around the world. but despite his injuries, he's vowed to race again. i will be back with more at the top of the hour. now on bbc news, witness. hello and welcome to witness, with me tanya beckett, back here at the british library in london. we've got another five witnesses who share their personal memories of history.

this month on the programme, we'll meet the israeli lawyer who prosecuted the architect of the holocaust. we'll visit a chinese archaeologist who works on the statues of the terracotta army, and the son of charlie chaplin invites us into his home. first, we're going back to the 1980s, and the beginning of the hiv/aids outbreak. at that time, stigma about the condition was rife. in 1987, princess diana agreed to make a highly symbolic visit to the first hiv/aids unit in britain. our first witness, john o'reilly, was a nurse at the unit, who welcomed one of the most famous women in the world. for everybody affected by hiv and aids around the world, it was a major coup. it was amazing. officially, the princess was officially opening the first purpose—built aids ward. perhaps, more significantly, it she demonstrated to staff and patients her confidence that aids can't be contracted

by casual contact. people were frightened, really frightened. because we didn't know what it was to begin with, there was a lot of aids phobia, homophobia. the media were unkind, particularly the tabloid press. i hated all that kind of misinformation and hysteria. the headlines were scaremongering, ignorant, misleading the general public. as far as i'm concerned, the gay plague was the homophobia, not the virus. i didn't tell anybody what i did. i didn't even tell fellow nurses or doctors what i did. ijust said i was a nurse at the middlesex hospital. i didn't feel safe — none of us felt safe. we had very, very few staff. we had very few medical staff and very few nursing staff. we couldn't attract staff because people were frightened. the unit has created other pressures in the hospital.

staff treating people with aids are subject to unusual strain. obviously, we have to be careful with blood and body fluids because that's the way it's transmitted. obviously, if we're dealing with those things we will wear gloves and aprons if necessary. we are not going out of our way to wear spacesuits and the rest, because it's totally unnecessary. my first impressions of princess diana was that she was warm, sophisticated, elegant and smart. i warmed to her instantly. she took our consultant down a peg or two, who sort of condescendingly said, "do you know what this is?" he was holding up an x—ray of the chest. she just very politely said, "i'm patron of the british heart and lung foundation. of course i know what an x—ray is." i thought, good on you. i like that. anticipation always surrounds what the princess of wales

will wear for an engagement. but it's rarely been keener than yesterday. just one question dominated the whole day. would she or wouldn't she wear gloves? princess diana demonstrated that she cared because she took everybody's hand. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, is 110w the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, is now beginning his speech in leicester. let's hear what he has to say. i want to thank glennis wilmot, mep, chairof our say. i want to thank glennis wilmot, mep, chair of our national executive committee can not just mep, chair of our national executive committee can notjust what mep, chair of our national executive committee can not just what she mep, chair of our national executive committee can notjust what she said this morning but the way she represents this region in brussels, the work she does in coordinating the work she does in coordinating the work she does in coordinating the work of all of our meps and the enormous help she has been to me personally and building good relations with socialist parties all across europe. because we need those relationships. because we are socialists and we believe in working with people and not against them.

applause she also has unbelievable stamina because she is the chair of the national accept it committee. as you know, it is famed for its short, brief, concise, erudite concessions —— discussions. she chairs them with such amazing good humour and always gets them through in less than six hours. thank you very, very much, for today and all the other days. and i want to congratulate adele, for what she said today. the fantastic victory you achieved on thursday for all of us. the council is strongerfor thursday for all of us. the council is stronger for you thursday for all of us. the council is strongerfor you being on it.

somebody like you understands the needs of people. you are going to be brilliant. thank you so much what you have said today and what you are doing the party. chantelle, candidate for newark. there is a civil war museum in newark. there is a great history in the civil war. our democracy came from that. or is understand your history. when you know when you have come from, you know when you have come from, you know where you are going. but, your story of a young woman empowered because we gave the opportunities for young women to be empowered, is a story of achievement. i want a labour government that empowers the whole community so everyone can achieve their real potential and not be held back by discrimination, by sexism, by racism, anything else.

thank you for what you have done and said. iam thank you for what you have done and said. i am looking forward to the election. ok. applause i also want to thank our marathon runnerfor being i also want to thank our marathon runner for being here today. john ashworth. applause john, fantastic that you did the marathon on behalf of a charity helping people who have gone through the pain of having alcoholic pa rents. the pain of having alcoholic parents. what you said in parliament that what you did on it was very brave. you did the marathon and we we re brave. you did the marathon and we were all very happy and proud to support you in doing that for that we are also very proud of the work you're doing as shadow health secretary. you rather have... ?

applause well, it is really a no—brainer. would you rather havejeremy hunt as health secretary orjohn ashworth? i'm could take the vote if you like. john is absolutely fantastic. what he has done is called the tories appleton called them out on the cuts to social care, on the funding of mental health, and called them out on the sustainability and transformation plans whoever dreamt up transformation plans whoever dreamt up all of that, i wonderful that he has said quite rightly he will put a stop to all of that stuff it up your make sure there is a health service and not hospital there for everybody and not hospital there for everybody and every part of the country. john is leading us on health. applause

and injohn you will have a health secretary who doesn't always look for somebody to blame, like you could lame the doctors for not working 20 hours a day, merely 18. all you could blame nurses, or you could blame staff. all you could blame people for being else that you could blame lots of people. john instead will make sure that the historic duty of our party, of a health service free at the point of use will be there and will be there for everybody to deal with health inequality and ensure we have the real security of knowing health social care and mental health is all of us. thank you for everything you do. —— is there for all of us. john is a great friends and comrades

that he did ask me to be brief this morning he wants to get out on the doorstep campaigning this afternoon was that he said all of you who are free this afternoon, and that is all of you not going to see leicester this afternoon, you canjoinjohn on the doorstep. they you are. vote john ashworth. applause and will you sign it for my collection? there can be no doubt, my friends, that the local election results on thursday were disappointing for the party. but we had welcome victories in mantis to guide of wool, wales, doncaster and elsewhere. but too many fantastic councillors who work tirelessly for their communities lost their seats. we face a huge challenge in the next four and we face a huge challenge in the next fourand a bit we face a huge challenge in the next four and a bit weeks. this general election campaign is also an

opportunity, a chance to breakfree, to create a society in which people are no longer held back by a system thatis are no longer held back by a system that is wreaked for the rich. a chance to rebuild britain for the many and not the few. applause there is also a huge danger that the tories them angry and spin machine will make some people settle for less tha n will make some people settle for less than they should, resigned themselves to things the way they are. underestimating just how many more burdens the tories could impose is their mission to break the system for the rich is not halted by us. the stakes are— stop we know from

the election results yesterday that the election results yesterday that the gap between us and the tories is not as great as many of the pundits have been saying. but, we still have many people to convince, and we have four weeks to do that. are we up for the challenge? yes. are we there to do it? yes. many are sceptical and undecided, not sure which way to turn. you can blame them? think about this. andy burnham had a brilliant victory in greater manchester yesterday. he spoke last week of how alienating people are from the political system. he said, we can't just from the political system. he said, we can'tjust carry on doing what we are doing. the time has come to do something different. he is right. 0ur westminster system is broken and our economy is wreaked. both are run

in the interests of the few good things can and must be different. —— of the few. labour is under attack. because we are standing up to elites who determined to hijack. hijack brexit to pay even less tax and take even more of the wealth that we all create. labour is under attack because we are standing up to the corporate interests, plundering our nhs. £13 billion of nhs budget is already privatised. how much more will be left if the tories get another five years of damaging our nhs? that is why we are under

attack. we are drawing a line, a line under decades of privatisation from energy and rail to health and social care that has made some people very, very rich. but it has not delivered richer lives for the vast majority. in this election, we will be outlining a plan to transform britain. an upgraded economy, run for the many and not the few. it will mean standing up to powerful vested interests. but we are ready for the challenge, aren't we? applause the only time the conservatives stand up as when they are taking orders from their billionaire friends. they certainly stand up then. those people will ward their

wealth. in reality it is our wealth in tax havens —— havens. theresa may think she can win the general election by claiming that she cares about working people. let's be kind. she talks about building a fair society. does she think people will forget what the tories have done to this country, how they have actually treated working people. this tory leader sat alongside david cameron in government for six years. she was in the cabinet room when they decided to introduce the bedroom tax. and so, for that matter, where the liberal democrats as part of that same coalition. what was fair about that? and what was fair about

racking up tuition fees. taking benefits away from people with disabilities. enclosing shorts dashes by the sure start centres all starving schools of cash so they now have to have collections to pay the teachers and the teaching assistants, or opening up the nhs to be plundered by the robert is in the health and social care act. what was there about giving big business and there about giving big business and the richest in society tax giveaways worth tens of billions of pounds while the rest of us were told to tighten our belts and accept a big dose of austerity? the tories are hoping everyone has

short memories. if that fails, they have another card to play. this election is about brexit and who can play at being toughest with brussels. but we will not allow the tories to put their party interests ahead of the real interests of the people of this country. this election is not about brexit itself. that issue was the subject of the referendum. this question is now, what sort of brexit do we want? what sort of country do we want to be in the future? who can really be trusted to put working people first? labour wants eight jobs brexit, trusted to put working people first? labour wants eightjobs brexit, a brexit that safeguards the future of britain's vital industries, a brexit that paves the way to a genuinely fairer society and an upgraded

economy. labour's and to transform britain will mean investing in infrastructure and new industries, rebuilding our national health service, and our social care services, and our mental health services. applause giving our children and young people a chance to fulfil their potential. because we believe in children, all of them should get the same chance irrespective of the postcode where they were born. applause we won't be paying lip service to working people will stop we will introduce a comprehensive programme to strengthen rights at work, make

sure newjobs are good jobs and an end to a race the bottom in pay, conditions and job security. low pay and insecurity are like an epidemic under the tories. we will invest in skills and jobs and take action to enforce a floor under employment standards across the board, so that alljobs are decentjobs, all workers, the true wealth creators in this country, can play their part in transforming britain for the benefit of all. that was jeremy corbyn talking to party activists in leicester at the rally this afternoon that is here what the prime minister has been saying goes that she has been in wolverhampton in the west midlands where the party enjoyed success in the selection of the regional mag, winning narrowly over labour. let's see what her view is of the impact those local

election results will have on the general election. i'm very grateful for the support we received in the local elections. here in the west midlands people now have a strong local champion in the new mayor, andy street. the question people now face in the general election is, who should lead the country for the next five years, me orjeremy corbyn? not a single vote has been passed in the election yet. none of the votes cast yesterday will count in the general election on the 8th ofjune in the minds of european politicians, there is not a mandate to take into the brexit negotiations. i'm taking nothing for granted in the next five weeks. i need support across the ice ‘s kingdom to strengthen my hand for the only vote for me and my team will ensure britain has the strongest leadership we need in order to ensure we get the best deal for britain from brexit. on wednesday you clearly implied there

was some in brussels who are trying to meddle in this election. what evidence do you have of that? we saw a number of statements coming out from brussels. what people have seen over the last week is that these negotiations are going to be tough at times. that means they need strong and stable leadership here in the uk, sitting around that negotiating table. i need a strong go shooting handful when it comes to the choice at the general election, people must remember this. though b 27 other european countries on one side of the table and only one person to stand up for the uk. the question at the general election is who will give the strong and stable leadership? me, orjeremy corbyn? why matter how will you get the bigger hand? the ability to argue britain's case around the table? every single vote will count in the general election. every vote for me and my team is a vote to strengthen

my hand in those negotiations. it is about to ensure we get the best possible dealfor about to ensure we get the best possible deal for britain from brexit. let me bring you some breaking news that has come into us whilst we have been on those political contributions from jeremy corbyn and theresa may. it is about the efforts that are being made to find people who disappeared and were believed to have been murdered by republicans during the troubles in northern ireland. seamus was a schoolteacher when he was murdered by the ira. and effort was made to find his body in 2008. they returned on monday to an area of mode woodlands where they were told the remains could be found. —— remote woodlands. they began digging. his

sister arrived at the site yesterday we are now told by the commission that they have found human remains at that site in northern france. inevitably the speculation will be they are those of mr reddy, who was 32, and from newry in county down at the time of his murder. there is no confirmation of that. indeed we are told that the recovery of the remains great you can imagine why after 30 years, will take some time, and a postmortem will be needed. that is the latest in the case of seamus rudy. dig in deep and you'll find quite a lot of details, depending on where you are in the country. some of us

are seeing you are in the country. some of us are seeing scenes you are in the country. some of us are seeing scenes like this. this is from the isle of wight. 0n the satellite picture you can see the isle of wight is not far away from the strip of cloud bringing rain across the far south—west and the channel islands. further north but this lump of cloud in the south is producing the odd spot of drizzle. we also have some extra cloud feeding in across north east scotland. that could spark off the odd sharp shower. temperatures in one or two places could get close to 20 degrees. plenty of sunshine in the far south east. into the midlands, east anglia and much of northern england, a lot of cloud. quite a cool field to the weather. in scotland we will see some sunshine. 19, maybe 20 degrees. extra cloud lapping on to the coasts. northern ireland seeing some sunny spells. some sunshine particularly across western parts of

wales. more cloud further east. in the south—west, in south and west devon and cornwall we will continue to see these outbreaks of rain through the afternoon. that will also affect the channel islands. not getting much further north than that. the rain will clear off to the south—west leaving most areas dry. there will be fairly large areas of cloud floating around that a lot of cloud, miffed and merck in the east. in the north—west where we keep clear spells, there could be apache frost to take us into the morning. tomorrow, another quiet day. there will be differences in the detail. in the north—east quite a lot of cloud and the odd spot of drizzle. the best of sunshine the south and west. eastern areas will be on the cool side. in the south and west we will have the highest temperatures. that is where we will see most of the sunshine. it will be quite cloudy at lord's for the cricket tomorrow for england against ireland. as we go into the start of

the new week, eastern areas will often be rather cloudy. the cloud could be big enough to produce the odd spot of drizzle. in the west more in the way of sunshine. for all of us are slightly cooler feel to the weather. things are quiet on the face of it. there are some ups and downs and differences in the detail was you can keep up to date with the latest details for where you are by logging onto the website. this is bbc news at two. the headlines... theresa may has been campaigning in key general election battle grounds in the midlands and has sought to play down talk of a landslide victory. labour leaderjeremy corbyn is in leicestershire urging party activists to dust themselves down and take the fight to the tories, after suffering heavy losses in the local elections. he says people should not be held back by a system which is right in favour of the rich. a penny in the pound on income tax to generate billions more for the nhs and social care — the pledge from

the liberal democrats. paul nuttall says ukip has a bright future and voters will return in their droves if theresa may fails to deliver on brexit. french presidential candidate emmanuel macron says he has been the target of a massive hacking attack the day before france goes to the polls. three men appear in court charged with murdering businessman guy hedger, who was allegedly fatally shot
